A proposito di questo titolo

I'm hoping that you might find something in this episode that will help you during calving season, especially if you are just starting out! I think there might be a couple of takeaways for experienced farmers too.
I talk about my calving bins, keeping safe when near a new mom, home made electrolyte solution, colostrum, milk replacer, selenium-vitamin E, castrating, and many other things.
Here is something I forgot to mention LOL and I thought of it as soon as I was done recording. If a calf isn't breathing, reach for a piece of straw and insert the straw a couple of inches into the calf's notril. I've had success a couple of times doing this.

Electrolyte: store these ingredients in a ziploc bag and administer the solution with a tube doser or bottle

1.9 litres warm water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon "salt free" salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons corn syrup
